The Inheritance

The Inheritance
By Tamera Alexander
Thomas Nelson, 2009. 374 pgs. Romance

McKenna Ashford has lost everything--her home, the business her father left to her and her brother, and even her friends--due to her younger brother Robert's poor choices. With nowhere else to go, they head west to Copper Creek, Colorado, intending to live with their cousin and her family. However, their cousin dies the night of their arrival, and McKenna finds herself trying to deal with her unruly brother and her cousin's young daughter, who doesn't seem very fond of McKenna. To make matters worse, fiercely independent McKenna finds herself attracted to Wyatt Caradon, but she doesn't have time for a man in her life, especially, given Robert's previous brushes with the law, one who is a U.S. Marshal. But Marshal Caradon keeps coming around, and McKenna doesn't know how long she can fight her feelings.

This was my first experience with Tamera Alexander's writing, and I found it to be a satisfying offering. This book is a good choice for those who are looking for historical romances, particularly clean ones.
